Does anyone know if this also affects the Requests library? Does it use these under the hood, or is it all httplib? (I'm pretty sure that's the case)

it probably does. Requests is built on top of urllib3 and the bug report mentions that urllib3 is affected as well.
Are urllib and urllib3 same thing?
No, urllib is a standard library module in python 3. urllib3 is a 3rd-party package. See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19423367
